Abstract:
In this issue of Structure, Serdiuk et al. report the use of single-molecule force microscopy to establish a role for phosphatidylethanolamine in promoting the native fold of lactose permease, thereby preventing it from populating a functionally defective, nonnative conformation (Serdiuk et al., 2015).
